Ranma is saved at Neko-ken by a certain blonde. One note: this is a fanfiction therefore I can do what ever I please. I don't own Ranma or Grenadier the smiling Senshi.

Chapter one

The start of a new journey and sixteen years

---Next morning---

As the mornings first light broke through the tree tops, it made an enemy of Yajiro as it woke him up. "You win this time, but I'll defeat you yet." said Yajiro, as he got up and looked around the camp. Then he walked over to Ranma to see what he looked like, but he found that Ranma was awake. "Good morning, I'm Yajiro Kojima, and you are?" asked Yajiro, not knowing the boys name. "I'm Ranma Saotome." replied Ranma, weakly looking up at Yajiro. "Nice to meet you. I'll be one of your teachers from this point on. Your dad left you in our care." said Yajiro, sitting down next to Ranma. "So, when do we start?" asked Ranma, turning his head painfully to the side. "We can start right now, with a philosophy lesson; it'll be a while till we get to the physical stuff." responded Yajiro, seeing the look on Ranma's face. "Tell me, what code did you follow? Tell me every rule." said Yajiro, starting an hour long conversation.

---Two hours later/ 7:00 AM---

As the sun got to a new position in the sky, it woke up Rushuna, who started to hear the end tail of a very long drawn out conversation. "Yes, I'll give you that, but some times you must kill an opponent or they'll just do it again." said Yajiro, getting Rushuna to wake up faster to see who he's talking to. "Yes, but that is still not a reason to kill." replied Ranma, making Rushuna smile. "True, but saving the live of an innocent is." replied Yajiro, as Rushuna got up. "I'll concede the battle, but not the war." replied Ranma, looking at Rushuna.

"Hi, I'm Rushuna Tendo, and the other girl is Mikan Kurenai, what's your name?" asked Rushuna, as she sat down. "I'm Ranma Saotome." replied Ranma, showing he wasn't in as much pain as earlier. "Hello, Ranma, well, since you'll be joining us and learning from us, how do you want to start?" asked Rushuna, looking at Ranma with a smile. "I'd like to start with your style, Rushuna-sensei." replied Ranma, giving her the dreaded puppy-eyes of death. "Ok, as soon as your healed, I'll start teaching you, but for now, rest and learn other things." said Rushuna, getting up and walking over to Mikan to wake her up. "She's right, Ranma, get some rest." said Yajiro, as Ranma faded off to sleep.

---Three years later/ the Capital---

We see Rushuna, Yajiro, Mikan and Ranma, kneeling in front of a woman about Rushuna's height with gray hair and gray eyes. She was dressed in a very old fashioned kimono with a large gold headdress on. "Empress, I've decided to teach Ranma Saotome everything I know." said Rushuna, getting a shocked look out of Ranma and the Empress. "I see, if you find him trustworthy, then I will trust him as well." said the Empress. This getting even more shocked looks. "Thank you, your highness." said Rushuna, getting happy and, even though he won't admit it, so was Ranma, as he had only learned the basics of gunmanship and most of Yajiro's long sword style and some of Mikan's balloon making tricks.

---Six more years later/ random road fork.---

"Well, Ranma, it's time for you to go on your own journey. We've shown you all you need to know. So, good luck Ranma-kun." said Rushuna, handing Ranma a revolver that looked like Rushuna's, only this one was black and red. "Yes, thank you for every thing, Rushuna-nee-chan." said Ranma strapping the new gun to his thigh.

"Yeah, take care, Ranma, here, don't read it till you've set up camp tonight." said Yajiro, handing a scroll to Ranma. "Right, see you around, Yajiro." replied Ranma, putting the scroll in his pocket.

"Here, I scrounged up a few of these. So, good luck, Ranma Saotome." said Mikan, embracing Ranma in a hug. "Thanks, Mikan-nee-chan, I'll see you around." said Ranma, retuning the hug. When they broke the hug, Ranma started down one path and the others went down the other, looking at each other one last time, then Ranma took off with tears in his eyes.

"I'll really miss him." said Rushuna, wiping a tear from her eye. "I just hope he forgives me." said Yajiro, starting to walk away and getting looks from the girls. "It doesn't matter, our paths will cross again and we'll see him again." said Mikan, as the group left down their path.

---Ranma's camp---

"Man, I didn't think leaving would be this hard." Said the fifteen year old Ranma, putting a hand in his pocket and feeling the scroll Yajiro gave him. "Oh, that's right. Wonder what it is." said Ranma, to himself, pulling the scroll out and opening it.

Dear Ranma,

If you're reading this, then that means either I'm dead or we've parted ways. The truth I've hidden from you is, that when you came into our lives, it wasn't that your father abandoned you or left you to be trained by us, the truth is, that on that night, so many years ago, I killed him. I didn't want a man like him, to ever treat another person like he treated you. I hope that one day you can forgive me, even though I don't deserve your forgiveness. Good luck, Ranma

Saotome, you're going to need it.

Your friend and teacher,

Yajiro Kajima

"I forgive you, Yajiro, I did a long time ago." said Ranma, to the wind, as he lay down to sleep with the scroll back in his pocket.

---One year later/ Nerima---

As Kasumi Tendo was cleaning the living room there was a load knock at the door. "Coming!" said Kasumi, going to the door. When she opened it, she saw a man about five foot six with black hair in a pony tail and blue eyes. He was wearing kung-fu shoes with black pants and a red shirt and a long black coat over it. On his hands were fingerless gloves and he had a piece of armor around his neck that lead your eyes to the top of a long sword and he had a red straw hat to top the look off, but oddly enough, Kasumi couldn't help but blush at the man.

"Excuse me, but is this the house of Soun Tendo?" asked the Man. "Why, yes, please come in." said Kasumi, with a smile. 'Wow, she's like Rushuna.' though Ranma, as he took off his shoes and entered the house. "Father, you have a guest." said Kasumi, as Ranma entered the living room.

"Yes, how may I help you?" asked Mr. Tendo, looking at Ranma. "I'm Ranma Saotome, I was told to come here after my training was done." said Ranma, as Mr. Tendo glompped him. "Oh, happy day, now one of my girls will be married." shouted Mr. Tendo. "WHAT!?" yelled Ranma, as Kasumi entered the room. "Oh my!" said Kasumi, when she heard her father.

End of Chapter: … And the moral of today's story is…Those who live by the sword get shot by those that don't. Well, that's me, Je Ne. Tenkai of Chaos.
